    Reform of the EU's list of tax havens

    The European Parliament adopted a resolution with proposals to reform the EU's list of tax havens. Central demands are stricter criteria as well as a transparent and independent decision-making process on listing or delisting countries as tax havens. The criteria should also be applied to EU countries.

    1000 km of shame

    "Many criticised Trump's crazy idea of building a wall. But we have in the EU erected over 1000 km of walls over last 30 years to prevent asylum seekers from coming to Europe. 1000km of walls to isolate rather than to protect. Look away rather than to stand together. 1000km of shame!" Strong speech by our MEP Damien Carême today in the…

    Anna Cavazzini
    Opinion by Anna Cavazzini
    With the advent of a new vaccine, hopes are now rising that there could be an end on the horizon. However, the vaccine itself has presented a number of logistical and diplomatic challenges, as many governments have begun playing the politics of division instead of pulling together to save lives.

    An EU ethics body

    The European Union’s ethical framework governing the conduct of its staff and members appears more comprehensive than in most Member States. Yet, over the past years, multiple cases of unethical behaviour in the EU institutions have revealed significant systemic shortcomings, notably in the framework’s current implementation.
